Poor guy, the never ending autistic screeching of this thread broke him.

Now if the sun gave out a major shart pointed right at earth is another story, but man made EMPs from nuclear bomb explosions allegedly aren't strong enough to wipe out critical electronics anymore (at least in North America and Europe)

What President Fucknugget in the White House and the boys in the Pentagon consider critical is a lot different than what you consider critical. I guarantee any significant EMPing and shit you consider critical will be seriously fucked.

This thread made the last janny breakdown and quit

We should honor LD50 with a 21 shitpost salute.

Goodnight sweet prince, I am not sorry for my autism.

I tried to warn him, I said yo dawg I told you about A&Ners, I warned you bro!

It's interesting how when Russia shoots traditionally civilian targets that Ukraine is using for military operations like schools and there is collateral damage it's a big problem but according to the same media when Israel blows up Hamas who hides rockets in schools and there is collateral damage it isn't a problem at all? Why is this?

You will find variations of this all over /pol/ if you want to read some of those responses.

I want full access to stickers here, it’s just funny how the only way you can express impotent anger at a post now is with a “dislike.”

I just want drink, horrifying, optimistic, and islamic at the very least. I need my updoots.

Does this spell the end for Russia?

wow
wow
wow

2 Ukrainian Su-25were shot down.

Spoiler: NSFW

Edit - pics of wreckage

Not sure if this was posted yet, but someone caught a "corpse" of a civilian from a propaganda reel taking a smoke break.

I'd say its BS because that telegram channel didn't follow up with any photos or references to this propaganda reel. Still possible it's out there but surely they'd share it for comparison.

A part of me wants to volunteer to be the mod just so I can quit an hour later with a long post about how I can still hear the screeching of a thousand niggers every time I close my eyes.

Nuclear EMP isn't considered much of a threat anymore, critical infrastructure was hardened against it in the 2000s. Now if the sun gave out a major shart pointed right at earth is another story, but man made EMPs from nuclear bomb explosions allegedly aren't strong enough to wipe out critical electronics anymore (at least in North America and Europe)

There's no way to harden enough infrastructure that an EMP wouldn't still be a massive problem. Especially when it would fry most vehicles.

 

[Psychotron]

Operation Desert Storm was also planned to minimize casualties to an absurd degree, ending with only about 200 coalition troops killed. I doubt Russia is taking its time to minimize losses

It's sad being an American, cause when we actually try we're actually quite good at this stuff.

I just want a bot that robo-rates every post to A&N with a free complimentary moai.

Sorry dude but this is just wrong - both in terms of the local EMP from a nuke deployed in atmosphere and in terms of a HEMP.

In terms of local EMP, the transistors in our cell phones and computers are tightly packed, which is why we have continually greater computing power in a smaller and smaller package.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

The higher you are on the Moore's law curve, the MORE susceptible you are to EMP.

In order to harden your electronics against the local effects of EMP (say a nuke is dropped on your local city center), you unironically need computers built to 1970's specifications. Tightly packed transistors run a considerable risk of Single-event upsets. There's a very specific reason why our nuke silos use 1970s computes in a very specific configuration: loosely packed transistors and redundancy across the X and Y axes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-event_upset

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening

Regarding HEMP, the nuke interacts with earth's magnetic field and creates a geomagnetic storm that can last minutes. This geomagnetic storm induces a current in every power line. What happens when you spin a magnetic field around a wire? You get an electric current in that wire. What happens if there's already electrical current in that wire? The currents stack. We're talking the mother of all electrical surges in every electrical grid on earth. Absolutely everything that's plugged into any affected grid WILL fry my dude. There are miles of power lines for the magnetic storm to interact with.

Supposedly this is Ukrainians staging atrocity propaganda.

Samuyil Hydenskyy is very real, we have pictures and video of the monster himself after all

He can't keep getting away with it!

That was being flashed around last year as Covid dead in NYC.
